Number 5 in my Lone Flower theme for this week. A lone poppy bloom back lit in strong summer morning sunlight. Taken in our East Sussex garden UK in June 2015.
When beautiful fluffy clouds would be a distraction. Meant to be graphic yet it saddens me the way my personal favourite place to visit goes ever further downhill ...

I love these old planks used for fishermen to place themselves. Number 20 had a special charm so I placed myself here!
The first 2022 daffodil from our garden. Advantaged by coming indoors on Sunday.
I much appreciate your comments and faves, thanks very much!
I seriously hope I look this good when I am seventy two years old (and counting). This is the original first Chevrolet Corvette from 1953. From what I have read, it didn't exactly set the world on fire when first released. The first year saw only 300 made, and they didn't all sell. Not great or particularly sporting to drive, mainly due to only having a straight six cylinder engine and a 2 speed automatic transmission. And it only came in one colour - Polo White with a red interior.
But, it did look so wonderful for the era, and it is where the Corvette started.
I cannot wait to 'drive' this one!

A 1/18th scale model 1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1 by model maker AUTOart. This is one of only two pre-owned models in my ever growing set. A little hard to find now as they were released many years ago around 2004 and in limited numbers. I'm very happy to have it in my collection!

These wooden groynes are spaced along the length of Portobello Beach, to help protect from the sand drifting too much. This one, number four, also has some tiny sculptures on it (if you zoom in!), a local creator adds them now and then to brighten the world
have fun being dead number two, you were a stupid little trollop and i hope you're burning in hell right now

After getting shut out at Glacier Point for a number of years, I was finally rewarded with some great light on my last visit. I started shooting as soon as the first bit of color stole across the sky and eventually the entire Western end of the valley was lit up. The irony here was that I was hoping there would be few to no clouds on this particular trip as I was there to shoot the Milky Way, along with quite a few other photographers. As I set up my tripod, I overheard a park ranger giving a lecture behind me on where the Milky Way WOULD be if you could, in fact, see it. I was starting to feel pretty depressed at this point as I had made multiple trips to Glacier point without much to show for it. Two summers ago I was smoked out by a huge fire, last year too many clouds for the Milky Way, and multiple trips in between with no sunset or sunrise. As I stared sulkingly off into the horizon, I noticed a faint bit of color in the clouds. Within just a few minutes the entire sky had lit up and the poor ranger was left with only a handful of people as the crowd moved en masse to the railing and began shooting like mad.
The Milky Way was a no show that night, but at least I walked away with my first decent sunset at Glaicer Point in four years. I'll be headed back to try the Milky Way at least one more time this year, so fingers crossed!

1948 Tucker
Some might say that Preston Tucker was a genius, and whether that's true, or not, is certainly debatable. But, I think we all could agree that he was a visionary with his car, and it's design. Advanced concepts that would take years and even decades for other car manufacturers to follow suit with, if at all. Air cooled rear engines, front wheel drive, electric assist manual transmission shifter, safety features largely unheard of in production cars at the time. Features like pop out windshield in the event of an accident, disc brakes, seat belts, padded dash, front right passenger safety zone, a third headlight that moved as the car turned, surely, I missed some. Some of these already had found a home in his first effort, the '48, and if he had remained in business his later models would have included those items not yet on the 48. The car I will show over the next series of shots was present at the annual Lime Rock Labor Day event in '24. It happens to be the 44th one produced out of the 51 he made before he, and his company got into trouble. The Big 3 had to be threatened by Preston's dream car, and one has to wonder what role they had played in Tucker's eventual demise? What made seeing this car special at the show was a chance to meet and talk with Tucker's great grandsons, twins I believe, and they had brought number 44 to the show.
5x7 watercolor. Ok, I loved Liz's cow paintings so much I wanted to try to paint something fun like hers. It's not beautiful and loose like hers but I had fun.
